Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex autoimmune disease of the central nervous system with an unknown etiology. While disease-modifying therapies can slow progression, there is a need for more effective treatments. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling using topological indices derived from chemical graph theory is a promising approach to rationally design new drugs for MS.

This systematic review aims to summarize the reported molecular and immunohistochemical markers (IHC) associated with AMNs and compare them with ovarian mucinous neoplasms (OMNs) and colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC).
Methods: A comprehensive search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE/PMC, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science databases to identify studies looking at IHC and molecular markers in AMNs.
This case report presents a three-year follow-up of a young male with bilateral hindfoot fractures due to a high-energy road traffic accident, resulting in a comminuted open calcaneal fracture on the left and an open fracture-dislocation of the right talus. Staged reconstruction was performed, including initial debridement, temporary cement spacers, and subsequent fixation with femoral head allografts (FHAs). The right foot underwent a tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) fusion, and the left foot received a double arthrodesis.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between CC, age, gender, refractive errors, and central corneal thickness (CCT) in Saudi Arabia, a field lacking in research. Data were gathered from Imam Medical Center in Riyadh and Dr.

Where, several related pathways elevate the production of superoxide in consequences. For example, the flux of glycation-derived end products (AGEs) could lead to the deactivation of insulin signaling pathways.
